Apples again

I'm still playing about with apples on and off and am making a 6x6 inch square book incorporating different techniques using apples as the motif. I die cut 4 apples and stuck them to the page to make a pattern and then noticed the negative shape in the centre. I remember that this was an exercise when I took a creative sketchbooks class a few years ago and we were doing pattern making but it is not something I have played with since. However this time I traced the shape and cut a stamp from thin foam and stamped with it using Big and Juicy ink pads.

First of all I stamped it all over a page and it became a tessellated image, looking a bit like a jigsaw puzzle.

Then when I stamped it individually I realised it looked like a flower so I added a centre to it.

Then I stamped it in green and it became leaves so I cut them out, gave them a red flower centre and stuck them in a different pattern.

About Me

I like just messing about and having a go at whatever takes my fancy, both stitching and papercrafting - the trouble is I don't really explore any one thing before I'm off having a go at something else. Hence the title of this blog!
